Although I never posted my observation until now, on August 31st I observed the blue moon from the Island of Venice. I actually observed it twice throughout the night from two separate locations. First, I observed it at about 8:30 from the beach and then again at about 9:30 from my house.
From the beach, the blue moon appeared bright and there was little light pollution around so it was very clearly visible along with a few stars. There were not very many clouds so my view of the moon was unobstructed.
From my house, the moon seemed even brighter because it was later at night. There was more light pollution around my house though so no stars were visible due to the increased brighness of both the moon and streetlights. Also, there were a few more clouds so at times the moon was behind them although it was still visible because of its brightness.
I like how much detail you gave about how the moon looked. :)
